A 20-foot-high sledding and tubing ramp will be placed in front of the Green Monster at Fenway Park for Frozen Fenway 2014, which will begin Dec. 28 and continue through Jan. 13.

The "Monster Sled" features a 75-foot run that will end at the foot of the Red Sox bullpen. There will be five tracks on the sled. It will be constructed in partnership with StackBox Structures, a Scarborough, Maine, company that designs mobile structures using shipping containers and truss systems.

The sled will be available for hourly rentals for groups of up to 100 people. Sleds and tubes will be provided; patrons are not able to bring their own. Call 617-226-6791 or email events@redsox.com for more rental information.

Frozen Fenway events also include ice skating inside Fenway, plus 16 college and high-school hockey games. Providence College will play Merrimack College at 4 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 4.

On Thursday, the Red Sox announced that the park will be open for skating and sledding on New Year's Eve, from 5 to 10 p.m. Tickets, at $40 each, are available now at redsox.com/newyears.

Fans will be able to select a half-hour time block, subject to availability, when purchasing tickets. The World Series championship trophies from 2004, 2007 and 2013 will be on the field for picture opportunities, and free hot chocolate wil be available for children in the† State Street Pavilion and the EMC Club.
